To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued. Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which may have been published since the Standard was purchased. Detailed information about Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Web Shop at www.standards.com.au and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line catalogue. Alternatively, the printed Catalogue provides information current at 1 January each year, and the monthly magazine, The Global Standard, has a full listing of revisions and amendments published each month. Australian Standards TM and other products and services developed by Standards Australia are published and distributed under contract by SAI Global, which operates the Standards Web Shop. We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities.

ii PREFACE This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee AV-002, Acoustics Instrumentation and Measurement Techniques. After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard, rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 60942:2003, Electroacoustics Sound calibrators. The objective of this Standard is to specify the performance requirements for three classes of sound calibrator, laboratory standard (Class LS), Class 1 and Class 2. As this Standard is reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies: (a) Its number does not appear on each page of text and its identity is shown only on the cover title page. (b) In the source test this International Standard should read this Australian Standard. (c) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker. This Standard provides for the use of the following Australian and Australian/New Zealand Standard as equivalent to particular International Standards referenced herein: Reference to International Standard Australian/New Zealand Standard IEC AS/NZS 61000 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 61000 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 61000-4-2 Part 4-2: Testing and measurement techniques Section 2: Electrostatic discharge immunity test 61000.4.2 Part 4.2: Testing and measurement techniques Electrostatic discharge immunity test 61000-4-3 Part 4-3: Testing and measurement techniques Radiated, radiofrequency, electromagnetic field immunity test 61000.4.3 Part 4.3: Testing and measurement techniques Radiated, radiofrequency, electromagnetic field immunity test 61672 Electroacoustics Sound level meters 61672 Electroacoustics Sound level meters 61672-1 Part 1: Specifications 61672.1 Part 1: Specifications Any International Standard not listed has not been adopted as an Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standard. The terms normative and informative have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance.

iv INTRODUCTION Sound calibrators are designed to produce one or more known sound pressure levels at one or more specified frequencies when coupled to specified models of microphone in specified configurations, for example, with or without protective grid. The sound pressure level generated by a sound calibrator may depend on environmental conditions such as static pressure, air temperature and relative humidity. Sound calibrators have two principal applications: a) the determination of the electroacoustical pressure sensitivity of specified models of microphone in specified configurations; b) checking or adjusting the overall sensitivity of acoustical measuring devices or systems.
1 STANDARDS AUSTRALIA Electroacoustics Sound calibrators 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the performance requirements for three classes of sound calibrator: laboratory standard (class LS), class 1 and class 2. Tolerance limits are smallest for class LS and greatest for class 2 instruments. Class LS sound calibrators are normally used only in the laboratory; class 1 and class 2 are considered as sound calibrators for field use. A class 1 sound calibrator is primarily intended for use with a class 1 sound level meter and a class 2 sound calibrator primarily with a class 2 sound level meter, as specified in IEC 61672-1. The tolerance limits for class LS sound calibrators are based on the use of a laboratory standard microphone, as specified in IEC 61094-1, for demonstrations of conformance to the requirements of this standard. The tolerance limits for class 1 and class 2 sound calibrators are based on the use of a working standard microphone, as specified in IEC 61094-4, for demonstrations of conformance to the requirements of this standard. A multi-level and multi-frequency sound calibrator has the same class designation for all sound pressure level and frequency combinations for which the instruction manual states that the instrument conforms to the requirements of this standard. This standard does not include requirements for equivalent free-field or random-incidence sound pressure levels, such as may be used in the overall sensitivity adjustment of a sound level meter. A sound calibrator may provide other functions, for example, tonebursts. Requirements for these other functions are not included in this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
